Enjoying the Morning Light

I love my master bedroom. It's located on the southeast side of the house and gets the best morning light. In the winter time the light is softer - have you ever noticed that?

There is no TV in this room. That has always been our rule and I'm glad for it.

This room is not perfect. You can't tell in the picture but our dresser is totally scratched up. Our lab was very scared in a storm once and jumped on top of it. Paul says that's part of the story of our lives. I like that point of view.

A chair to sit and put your socks on. I bought this little cutie in downtown Edmond a few years ago. It was yellow and I painted it.

A well made bed. We have a comforter that matches the pillows also but I just enjoy this matellase so much that the comforter rarely comes out.

A few days ago Kim at Daisy Cottage asked us if we make the bed. I have to! The world doesn't feel put together unless the bed's made.

First of all, what a pretty room. I love it. We have a TV in our room and I hate it. Thank you for your comment about my dogs smiling... that was one of the nicest things anyone has said. Are you out from the ice storm?

That chair has beautiful detail on it. I always make the bed. Sometimes it's close to noon before it's done. But I can't stand to get into an unmade bed. Isn't that silly? Your bedroom is really well put together. Your Paul sounds like a gem.Brenda

I always enjoy seeing people's personality coming out in their home decors. Your bedroom is beautifully decorated, and I like the story of your dog in the storm...I say scratches add character. We do not have a television in our bedroom either. We both like it that way. By the way, the "Nothing Bundt Cakes" bakery is in Grapevine, TX.

That is so true about scratches adding character...I just have to continue to remember that! My wood floors are getting very scratched from Gertie's nails...even when I have them clipped. She and the cat love to chase each other around the house and it's so funny to watch, but sometimes I get upset because I think I can never have a perfect wood floor. Between dogs, cats, and boys, it's impossible!

What a well put together room. Your little "sock" chair is so cute. What a great idea to paint it red. But I have a TV in my room and I wouldn't live without it. I guess that's why it's - to each it's own.... Robyn

What a sweet way to look at the scratches on your dresser. Of course I like shabby chic & garden cottage decorating so scratches are charming to me. Chips, dings, scratches they give a sense of history.Debbie

My favorite is the chair you painted ... it's lovely. I do have a television in my bedroom but I don't share my bed with anyone so it's kind of nice to have HGTV going softly with timer set for 60 minutes...I never even know when it turns itself off. And I have the sweetest decorating dreams.

Pretty room! Love the colors! I have never missed a day of making my bed....can't start the day without the bed made! Funny how we are. No TV in the bedroom for me. They say, whoever "they" are, bedrooms should be for sleeping and intimacy only. Remove tv's, computers, bills etc :)
